When Devils Sing

I grew up in the Pennsylvania countryside, roaming woods, wading in streams, and climbing trees. I developed a deep curiosity about nature, which led me to study biochemistry and botany — earning a BS and PhD — and creative writing. 

I love writing about science and inviting young readers to explore the natural world. I have written more than ninety books for children. My books have received a National Council of Teachers of English Notable designation, a Riverby Award, a Green Earth Book Honor, and spots on many “best of” lists. 

I live in State College, Pennsylvania with my husband, where we raised three wonderful daughters. 

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me reading, baking bread, growing gardens, tending a small flock of chickens, or wandering in the woods with a nature journal in hand.
